Nine Days' Wonder

NDW Records

Detroit and it's many avid ears, having been for so long saturated by great local music, are about to wallow in some more solid, home-town rock. This quartet, spawned from the ashes of a constrained garage cover band, not only solid and tight, but full of believable musical values. Culling influences from, amongst others, Alice In Chains, S.T.P. and Front 242, these boys have put together a release that stinks of expectant success. Hey, if you're looking for mindless lyrics that hold no substance, then I'm afraid that you are out of luck, 'cause the depth of real-life values is in abundance. Musically, these guys are the business, uncontrollable and raw at times sure, but never violating the inbred code of reality. The mark of a great album, unless I'm very much mistaken.
